Non-hysterectomised
Add a progestogen if used in women with a uterus. This could be a separately prescribed therapy such as a 52mg intrauterine delivery system with a license for endometrial protection or micronised progesterone. You may also consider a combined HRT preparation such as Femoston® or Femoston®-conti (estradiol + dydrogesterone).
Benefits of oral estradiol therapy
